PSALMS 23
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me;Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life;And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
While this outer dimensional reality steadily changes from day to day and the infrastructure of the old paradigms are being chipped away; we are being forced to think thoughts we have not thought before. The two voices that speak within must blend, the one that speaks of what appears must surrender and match the one that is real.
The most beloved Psalm of all time is Psalms 23. It is appreciated by those enlightened and those unenlightened, crossing many cultures and religions. It is one of the most mystical of the Psalms of David-it transcends the idea of comfort. In Psalms 23, we are given an example of the highest level of initiation by the Spirit. From this highly esoteric Psalm, we can glean many truths from the astrological, numerical and mystical standpoints. This Psalms also conceals 7 powerful names of the Almighty. Chant them multiple times with emotion to experience them. In this message, we will only slightly mention some of these hidden mysteries.
This is a Psalm that is often read during a funeral to comfort the grieving family. But on a much higher level this is a Psalm for all humanity; that highlights the transition into a higher state of consciousness. It gives comfort to the lower state of our being that yet sometime grieves and longs for the carnal ways. It gives hope, that during this inner pilgrimage both worlds will merge as one.
One must become the song/psalms and prayer of these words to experience it. This Psalms was accompanied with music, your life must become the music and lyrics in this powerful transition and initiation. In yet an expanded understanding, the end result is that the bleating sheep (humanity) that has been wandering around in the pastures of confusion, will encounter the Good Shepherd. Through this encounter and initiation, we also become the Good Shepherd that leads by the still waters.
“The LORD IS my Shepherd,” cried the prophetic psalmist. “Where the Spirit IS LORD, there is liberty.”
The transition from the noisy sheep with the sacrificial victim mentality is necessary; the sheep must become the Shepherd, just as the sacrificial lamb became the Lamb of God. This can only be realized as the LORD (higher part of your being) is allowed to penetrate the barrier of time that reminds us of the hurts of the past and fears of the future. When this happens there is no more past or future, there is only IS, the NOW. There is liberty only in the NOW, where the Spirit IS LORD. Yesterday and tomorrow must blend into NOW. It is in this experience that the LORD, your divine Self IS allowed to be your Shepherd.
THE RAM/LAMB
Aries Lamb
David likens himself to a sheep/lamb. This speaks of the naivety expressed through human consciousness on a lower vibration. The trusting and total unawareness of dangers, pitfalls and challenges that may be ahead. Rams are often seen in the high treacherous mountains ramming into one another or other things head on. This is the display of human Ego that must be denied. Only in the constellation of Aries do we find the Ram/Lamb that has been wounded, this has multiple meanings. First of all, it forecast the Good Shepherd would be wounded for our transgression. Isaiah 53 Further, the heavens are depicting humanity that has had its leg broken by the lower life experiences and is not able to walk in the way we were meant to walk.
The ancient shepherds developed a special relationship with their sheep. They gave them names; the sheep learned their shepherd’s voice and only followed him. Occasionally, a young lamb would consistently stray away; the shepherd would break its leg and carry it close to his bosom till it healed. It was that lamb that got to hear the heartbeat of the shepherd and later followed him the closest. Can you interpret what the Good Shepherd’s heartbeat is relating to you?
When the ego is denied, the religious victim mentality is overcome and the disciple desires deeper truth with humility, he makes the transition from sheep to Shep-herd. However, the true herd or flock that he is to lead is the great congregation within. The great and growing flock of thoughts, words, and actions must be shepherded in love. No more accusing, excusing and abusing, the LORD becomes his Shepherd. Submission and homage is focused on the Christ (LORD) within. The kingdom that he has been seeking foremost is now realized, therefore, he is worthy of all the benefits.
The LORD is my Shepherd-Chant this sacred name, YAHWEH RA’A (ROHI) or Jehovah Ra’a (Rohi) -LORD my Shepherd
1. The LORD is my PROVISION / PROSPERITY. “I shall not want.” When he is “my” Shepherd, he is released to form Himself as my material wants/needs in manifestation. Everything on the material plane is actually a lower expression of Spirit. Ignorance and false humility from the old paradigm refuses to understand the merging of the material and spiritual worlds. Jesus said, “Whatever things you desire (want-lack), when you pray, believe that you receive them and you shall have them.” Mark 11:24
Chant the sacred name YAHWEH YIREH or Jehovah Jireh-the LORD my Provision. The wrestling and warfare of past experiences are accomplished. The distractions and things that would normally bring frustration have been dissolved in the peace, because your mind is stayed on Him. The voice that speaks from the realm of appearance to bring fear of world calamities or personal calamities, is silenced by the Voice of reality that produces faith. The Shepherd and Bishop of your being leads your soul to a place of complete Rest and provision; signified by the green pastures. He becomes your righteousness, your right standing comes from the Almighty Christ, who you stand bold in. As the Shepherd rises as LORD within, the greater the experience of salvation on the physical body will become evident. The glory concealed within will seep through the pores creating a cloud/mist of divine protection upon and around the body. This force from within can repels biological, germ, nuclear material, bullets, blades, poisonous foods, fire or water. Chant the sacred name YAHWEH NISSI or Jehovah Nissi-the LORD my Banner
This awesome Presence is the force that invades and transforms the atmosphere wherever it is carried. The disciple/Shepherd becomes the Ark of the Covenant, exuding the inescapable Presence of the Almighty. This is the preparation for the highest level of fellowship and partaking of the Christ (LORD) within. This anointing oil brings healing and wholeness deep within and on the physical form. It is preparation for the Holy commUNION that transmutes All of the realm of illusion and appearances into Reality. Wisdoms’ house is built, the beast (flock of thoughts, words, and actions of the lower realm have been slain) is completely dead. The table is prepared with lamb chops of things that once brought fear, but now stirs faith. Come and dine. The realm of appearance has been the dressing room of preparation for your debut. All those that would be enemies are invited, they are necessary to witness, how the Shepherd has exalted you. This promotion is signified by the anointing of the head with oil, which also means reaching the state of Enlightenment. Abundance is experienced on every level as the Shepherd overflows through your being. In this I AM (LORD) place, nothing but goodness and mercy is revealed. Therefore, one must become goodness and mercy, expressing only His life. I AM PROSPEROUS I AM PEACE-FUL I AM PROTECTED I AM the PRESENCE I AM PREPARED I AM the PLACE/HABITATION Order of Melchizedek
6-THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU ALLOW YAHWEH TO BECOME THE SHEPHERD OF YOUR BEING
PROSPERITY
When the LORD is your Prosperity, there is no fear of contamination by greed. The one that has come to this level of consciousness, Abundance is the norm. He has developed his faith to such a point that he is able to decree a thing and it shall be established in the earth (material realm). He can call those things that are not (in the invisible realm) and cause them to manifest on the material plane. Some time ago, Eye heard the Spirit say, “Tell the people I am releasing the gift of manifestation.”
It was the lowered Adamic consciousness that was perceived evicted and sentenced to poverty mentality and lack. However, in his higher Christ first estate, before the encounter with the Serpent; he lived in Abundance. He was sentenced to prosperity consciousness and fulfillment. Which mindset are you operating from, Adam or Christ?
PEACE
2. The LORD is my PEACE. “He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake.” This is the releasing of the Christ LORD to become your Peace.
Chant the sacred name YAHWEH SHALOM or Jehovah Shalom -the LORD my Peace
Chant the sacred name YAHWEH TSIDKENU or Jehovah Tsidkenu -the LORD my Righteousness
This is soul (mind, will, emotion, intellect and imagination) prosperity, thus, enabling the soul to be restored back to its formal estate. The once troubled, stormy waters within now become still. All the distortion of the false reality is swallowed up in the true image of your expression as righteousness.
PROTECTION
3. The LORD is my PROTECTION / PRESERVATION. “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil.” This speaks of transition (walking) into yet higher realms. The higher the disciple ascends, the greater the revelation of life is realized.
The dreaded experience called death is a shadow and has no power over the one whose LORD has become his Preservation. If he chooses to penetrate the 3-dimensional realm by discarding his/her body, there is no condemnation or fear. However, if the disciple chooses to take his/her body beyond the imaginary veil while in the physical, this is also possible.
The light within dispels the shadow of death that comes in many forms. Sickness, disease and aging are shadows created by the illusions of the carnal mind. Fear no evil (calamities). Do not take up residence in this realm of shadows. Walk through it until it becomes light.
PRESENCE
4. The LORD is my PRESENCE / PRESENT. “You are with me.” Becoming the song and prayer of this experience creates a constant awareness of OmniPresence, the Holy Spirit. Though the experience is not based on feelings, yet the inner man is filled with joy that can not be contained.
The comfort and assurance that one is never alone is an asset as this inward pilgrimage brings a sense of isolation. The rod and staff of revelation knowledge helps the disciple to remain focused and confident.
Chant the sacred name YAHWEH SHAMMAH or Jehovah Shammah–the LORD my Presence/Present
PREPARATION
5. The LORD is my PREPARATION. “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.”
Chant the sacred name YAHWEH RAPHA or Jehovah Rapha – -the LORD my Healer
PLACE
6. The LORD is my PLACE / HABITATION. “I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” The visitations of past experiences were great as we moved between lower and higher states of consciousness. However, there is a Place where we go out no more. This is the place where Moses saw the glory and his face shone. It is the place (experience) that Jesus (Yahushua) prepared. “I will go and prepare a place for you, that where I AM –you shall be also.”
What is this Place? Where is this Place? Is it not the “I AM that I AM.” The LORD IS my Prosperity, my Peace, my Protection, my Presence, my Preparation, my Place.
Chant the sacred name of God YAHWEH SHAMMAH or Jehovah Shammah – the LORD my Presence/Present/ Place
“In Him we live, move and have our being.”
Allow these phrases/affirmations to become your mantras and meditations: As He is, so are you.
I Am worthy because I Am, thank you
